Samoens 1600 is an extra 20 minutes drive up the hill from the village of Samoens passing through the hamlet of Vercland. Transfer times will be under 90 minute from Geneva Airport.

Until the winter of 2017/18 there were a few shops and self catered apartments which offer ski in ski out location. Christmas of 2017 the new Club Med complex will open its doors offering all inclusive packages. With over 900 rooms it can offer a range of services from 3 star to 5 star all inclusive, including ski hire, ski lessons and lift passes. To cope with the extra skiers Club Med has helped with the funding of new lifts and ski areas. The Coulouvrier valley between Samoens 1600 and Morillon 1100 has been opened up for skiing, putting in a high speed 6 man chair lift that takes you to the top of Samoens ski area Tete de Saix 2105m which links you directly to Morillon and Les Carroz and easy access ability to Flaine ski area. The top of the peak at Tete de Saix has also been flattened and improved to make the cross over point easier and quicker for all levels of skiers. The new chair lift will be the longest in Europe covering 2850m and an elevation of 944m. There will be 2 new blue runs for winter 2017/18. Two new red runs will be added for winter 2018/19. Also opening up the valley for extra off piest skiing in the area.

New reservoirs have been made to improve the snow cannons and snow cover. For 2017 the slopes of Samoens are opening 16th December with Flaine opening a week earlier on the 9th December. With the early snow that has arrived this November and more cold weather and snow on the way it looks like a good start to the season for the Club Med at Samoens 1600.
